Argentina have been bolstered by the return of lock Patricio Albacete for Saturday's Test against New Zealand at La Plata.

Albacete, who has been capped 53 times, tore a hamstring in Los Pumas' first game of the Rugby Championship against South Africa and will return in place of Manuel Carizza.

He is one of six changes from the side which lost 13-14 to Australia in Perth.

Eusebio Guinazu is named at hooker in place of Agustin Creevy, while four changes have been made in the backline. Martin Landajo has been named at scrum-half instead of Tomas Cubelli, Horacio Agulla has been replaced on the right win by Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino while in mid-field, Santiago Fernandez and Marcelo Bosch come back to replace Felipe Contepomi and Gonzalo Tiesi.
